Board Minutes – September 2025

Date: 17th December 2025

As many of you who follow our work know we undertook a major reshuffle at the top of the organisation in August. As a result a new Advisory Group was set up with the objective of getting us back to a place where we represented fans.

We are delighted to  be going back to a place where we share the minutes of our Board meetings with our members. The minutes of the first meeting of the new advisory board are below.

A full schedule of Board meetings will be posted on our website and we will be delighted to invite up to two  visitors to each meeting.

  1. Work streams

 The Board will engage with the Engine room where we have key volunteers that we are mentoring. A full list of the current activities will be shared with the board via email in the next few days. Most of the activity is in the public domain but some remains in development.

The most important aspect of our activity remains  The Review of the Game and the Scottish Government Round Table meetings . The next scheduled meeting will be on November 3rd in Edinburgh. We will be represented at that meeting by Simon Barrow, Dave McPherson and Alan Ramsay.  SEE The Review of the Game – Scottish Football Supporters Association – SFSA

Groups – we will have some small working groups for example Tartan Army, commercial etc which will allow for detailed discussions on key topics.                                         ALL

A list of projects will be distributed to all in the group  to ensure everyone is up to speed with the activity and to give an indication  of how  they might contribute to various projects.                                                                                                                      ALL

 

Group to ensure they are connected to all the Social Media channels that we use and that they encourage as many colleagues and friends to follow us too.   ALL

 

Suggested dates for  next two Board meetings will be circulated  to allow us to get us in sync. These will be by Zoom in October and December in Edinburgh. Everyone to respond. Going forward we will have these all in the diary for 2026  ALL
